Hmmmmmm. Wonder why uphill skiiing never caught on. Enquiry minds
want to know. :^)


Cross country skiing and telemarking, although since they both require
much
more physical exertion, you are correct that they are not nearly as
popular
as their downhill relative.

Alpine ("downhill") skiing and Nordic (x-country) are as different as
flying fixed wing vs. helicopters.

Did you honestly think you were enlightening me with your suggestion and
that I had never heard of the accident report database before?

Peter, I have no way to know if you knew of that database or not. I
suspect that many people do not just as there are pilots who will do
stupid things to end up in that database.

The FAA has been very clear that the so-called crisis is due to commitments
which greatly exceed projected growth in the trust fund.


I have a serious funding shortfall. I just decided to take expensive
vacations twice a week, buy a dozen residences in popular resorts and
a nice jet to travel there.

I need to have the government steal from others to take care of this
funding crisis.

Hey Phil, I mean Ron! Thanks for putting it so plainly. I like that much
better than the BS about economic benefits and other gobbly-gook.
